This was peak comedy back then. They were good times.

I hated the “true story” image SO MUCH

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's still up there.

I was pre Rage, it's what my kids grew up on, but the beauty of it is the simplicity. Even if you don't get into it, you can understand it. It's like a meme dialect, this one is pretty universal.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

It's living through the evolution as well. New rage faces would get added and new memes would flood all social media. Jackie Chan would get rage face'd and a new flood would start.

the fact that it's based mainly on typical facial expressions. An angry looking face means angry. You can delve into the "That image actually comes from an interview this guy did and he's reacting to someone who said something stupid" He looks like he's exasperated, and that image means "I'm exasperated." It's readable the way emoji are.

[-] gianni@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

You seemed to have dropped this

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

f7u12, executed properly, with just the average amount of 'le', bland/mainstream/non-niche problem, and late-stage rage comics complexity (amount of feces in the last panel). A solid 8/10 I would say, with extra points for classics revival.

[-] waz@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

Personally I’d give it 5/7, A perfect score!

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

Is that with or without rice?

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

Rage comics is what got me hooked on reddit...

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Same. Kept hearing people say something was stolen from Reddit on meme base so I went to look

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ngl, it was a good hook back in the day.

Which kinda reminds me - do you think they ever finished translating the lolcat bible?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I give it 5 bags of popcorn and maybe add in a little Aaron Swartz keychain

[-] boboliosisjones@feddit.nu 22 points 2 months ago

I think this meme format was the turning point where memes became accessible and the beginning of your everyday normal people using memes like where we are today.

[-] Oka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

I was there, making and sharing rage comics in its prime

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

It's art, you wouldn't get it.

[-] kata_ton_daimona@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

We're seeing this almost five years later... That meme is aged itself... Creepy

"happened in 10 years ago"

Basic grammar is hard, and punctuation too, apparently.

[-] vga@sopuli.xyz -1 points 2 months ago
